| squarepeg | I can't wait to see the big legal trainwreck from software patents | Aug 25 20:39 |
| squarepeg | I'm hoping actually for a dismissal on the grounds that they don't make sense and they're unenforcable | Aug 25 20:39 |
| squarepeg | Oracle is stepping into a mess | Aug 25 20:40 |
| squarepeg | patent law is important and there is plenty of legal precedent, as it is a very active area of law which facilitates business every day | Aug 25 20:41 |
| squarepeg | software patents are just asinine and they gum up the works because they make no sense | Aug 25 20:41 |
| squarepeg | Just what the patent office wants to see - lots of cases in which no clear judgement can be made, no body of precedents existing | Aug 25 20:42 |
| squarepeg | it's a new frontier in abusing patent law and wasting everyone's time | Aug 25 20:42 |
| squarepeg | Let the lawyers make their claims, collect their fees - at the end of the day the lawyers are the only ones who're going to benefit | Aug 25 20:43 |
| squarepeg | claimants and defendants will suffer, as will the patent office and judges have their time wasted | Aug 25 20:44 |
| squarepeg | ultimately, software patents will be proven to be worthless | Aug 25 20:44 |
| squarepeg | copyright law is the appropriate area of law for software | Aug 25 20:44 |
| squarepeg | Imagine - Company A sues Company B because their software acheives the same functionality, yet with no copyright infringement accused... | Aug 25 20:45 |
| squarepeg | Hey, you're infringing on my patented function which sorts an array! I patented sort() before you did. | Aug 25 20:46 |
| gnufreex | squarepeg: Are you DeamonFC? | Aug 25 20:47 |
| squarepeg | balzac | Aug 25 20:47 |
| squarepeg | software patents are the most un-American, anti-competition, asinine idea | Aug 25 20:49 |
| squarepeg | Just like the SCO case against IBM, it's going to take a while for common sense to be vindicated | Aug 25 20:49 |
| MinceR | if it ever will be | Aug 25 20:49 |
| squarepeg | There should be frivolous lawsuit fines and counter-suits filed against any claimants to file a case based on a software patent claim | Aug 25 20:50 |
| squarepeg | software patents are like the Dutch tulip speculation bubble | Aug 25 20:50 |
| MinceR | the jurists and the patent trolls win, everyone else loses | Aug 25 20:50 |
| squarepeg | software patent trolls are like tulip speculators | Aug 25 20:51 |
| squarepeg | their patent portfolios are trash | Aug 25 20:51 |
| squarepeg | tulips have more value | Aug 25 20:51 |
